What does it take to survive — and succeed — as a professional photographer for more than four decades?In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten sits down with award-winning portrait photographer and educator Kirk Voclain to explore the lessons he's learned during 45+ years behind the camera.Kirk shares how he photographed his first paid wedding at just 15, what shooting film taught him about patience and composition, and why photographers who refuse to adapt risk getting left behind when the industry changes.We talk about portrait photography, connecting with clients, photography pricing, selling digital files, running a photography business and the difference between being a talented photographer and actually making a living from photography.Kirk also reveals how the unusual access he experienced as a professional photographer inspired his spy thriller Double Exposure — and what it feels like to become a beginner again after decades of mastering another creative craft.Whether you're an amateur photographer, professional photographer, videographer or building your first photography business, this conversation is packed with experience you can apply to your own creative career.Subscribe to Camera Shake for weekly conversations about photography, videography and the business of being creative.#photography #portraitphotography #KirkVocain #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:CONNECT WITH KIRK VOCLAINWebsite / Author:https://kirkvoclain.comPhotography Website:https://kvphoto.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/kirkvoclain/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/kirk.voclainLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkvoclainYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/kirkvoclainTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@kirkvoclainX / Twitter:https://x.com/kirkvoclainPro4uM Photography Community:https://pro4um.comJOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 325 ‘What 45 Years as a Photographer Taught Me About Success with KIRK VOCLAIN' IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/v0ewzQj2d3IApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.

Artificial intelligence is making people faster, but is it actually making organizations better?On this episode of That Tech Pod, we sit down with Dr. Mik Kersten, one of the world's leading thinkers on technology transformation and organizational change. From groundbreaking computer science research at PARC to founding Tasktop and helping some of the world's largest enterprises modernize software delivery, Mik has spent his career studying how technology reshapes the way we work.We dive into the ideas behind his new book, Output to Outcome, and explore why AI is much more than another productivity tool. Mik explains why many organizations are approaching AI the wrong way, why simply producing more work doesn't necessarily create more value, and why the operating models that defined the last century may no longer be fit for the AI era.We also discuss how leaders can measure the real return on AI investments, avoid chasing productivity for its own sake, and build organizations that combine human judgment with increasingly capable AI systems. Whether you're a technology leader, executive, founder, or simply trying to understand where work is headed next, this conversation offers a thoughtful roadmap for navigating one of the biggest shifts in modern business.Dr. Mik Kersten is a computer scientist, technology strategist, and one of the leading voices on how organizations adapt to technological change. Mik is the founder and former CEO of Tasktop, and currently serves as Executive in Residence at Planview following Tasktop's acquisition in 2022. His career has spanned pioneering software research at PARC, leadership roles in the open-source community through the Eclipse Foundation, and helping enterprises modernize the way they deliver technology. Mik is also the bestselling author of Project to Product, and his new book, Output to Outcome, explores why AI isn't just changing how work gets done, but fundamentally reshaping the operating models organizations were built upon. 

What if your teams became 10x more productive — and your business got nothing out of it?Dr. Mik Kersten has the data to prove it's already happening. After studying more than 8,000 value streams across enterprises, he found that only 8% of end-to-end delivery time is teams actually creating value. The rest disappears into planning, approvals, reviews, and coordination. Which means you can multiply team productivity by 2x or 10x with AI, and deliver nothing faster to your customers.Mik started his career as a research scientist at Xerox PARC, completed his PhD in Computer Science, and founded Tasktop, which he led as CEO until its acquisition by Planview in 2022. He's the creator of the Flow Framework and the bestselling author of Project to Product. His new book, Output to Outcome: An Operating Model for the Age of AI, launches July 14, and it argues that the constraint on knowledge work is gone. What's left is your organizational structure. And for most companies, it's the thing standing in the way.In this episode, Mik joins Jessica Neal and co-host Peter Clarke to break down why AI productivity gains aren't showing up in business results, what happens to companies that spend big on tokens without rewiring how they work, and why the future of leadership means every manager becomes a maker again.You'll learn:- Why only 8% of enterprise delivery time is actual value creation — and where the other 92% goes- Why 10x team productivity means nothing if your organization can't absorb it- The four competing structures inside most companies: org chart, value streams, incentives, and architecture- What Netflix got right about aligning technology, teams, and leadership- The "outcome tree": one unified structure replacing the matrix- Why humans should keep reporting to humans — even as agents join teams- How incentives quietly sabotage transformation (and why Mik wrote half a chapter on them)- Why outputs are easier to measure than outcomes — and why that's now a fatal trap- The dark factory thought experiment: what happens when production cost trends toward the price of electricity- Zero bonuses for engineers: what Mik learned from the experiment- Why planning still matters — but on weekly and monthly cadences, not annual- Managers to makers: why the first-line manager role is changing completely- The middle managers whose roles are gone — and the new role that replaces them- Why companies that get this right are hiring more people, not fewerMik's message to leaders: get hands-on with the latest models now. The only way to make AI work for your teams — instead of the other way around — is to lean in.Output to Outcome: An Operating Model for the Age of AI is available now wherever books are sold.Truth Works is hosted by Jessica Neal, former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix.

What Kodachrome Taught Us About Photography is a conversation with photographer, writer, educator and former B&H Photography Podcast host Allan Weitz about his new book Kodachrome: How Two Guys Named Leo Changed Photography.In this episode of The Camera Shake Podcast, Allan joins Kersten to explore why Kodachrome became one of the most loved colour films in photography history. They discuss the unlikely story of the two young musicians behind its invention, the discipline required to shoot transparency film, the difference between Kodachrome and Ektachrome, and why photographers had to understand light long before histograms, autofocus and instant previews.The conversation also looks at the culture around slides, projectors, mail-in processing, Kodak advertising, digital photography, film photography's comeback, and what modern photographers and videographers can learn from slowing down and thinking more deliberately about every frame, exposure and creative decision.Whether you are an amateur photographer, professional photographer, photography business owner, filmmaker, or simply fascinated by the history of photography, this episode is a warm, thoughtful look at colour, memory, creativity and craft.Subscribe for more photography advice, videography conversations, creative business insight and interviews with leading photographers every Thursday, and check out related episodes for more inspiration.#photography #kodachrome #allanweitz #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:Allan Weitz on the web:https://www.allanweitzdesign.comAllan Weitz on Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/allanweitzFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/allan.weitz1JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 317 ‘What Kodachrome Taught Us About Photography with ALLAN WEITZ' IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/HfLdcn9A8UMApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastTwitter: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, host Pierce Salguero sits down with Linda C. Ceriello, a scholar of mysticism and popular culture from Kennesaw State University in Georgia. Linda is one of the foremost scholars of metamodernism, with particular focus on contemporary spirituality and mystical experiences. She talks with us about what this concept of metamodernism means, and how it can open up new kinds of more capacious thinking. I'm sure you will agree that a lot of what we've been doing on the Black Beryl podcast over the past 4 years — juxtaposing different perspectives, exposing our full selves, exploring the dark sides of spirituality, leaning into sincerity, etc. — has all embodied a metamodern sensibility. Anyway, I think she's the perfect guest to talk with as we launch season 4, and I hope you'll enjoy the show.

Why do you crave dessert after dinner? Why are you hungry again an hour after eating? And why does weight sometimes seem to accelerate even when you're watching calories? In Episode 3 of this series on ultra-processed and hyper-palatable foods, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down the biology behind cravings, hunger, and weight gain. This episode connects the dots between food engineering, blood sugar spikes, insulin, and the brain's reward system—showing why this isn't a willpower problem, but a biological response to the foods we're eating. Dr. McCarthy, Chief Medical Officer at Protea Medical Center in Tempe, Arizona, explains how modern ultra-processed foods are designed to override normal satiety signals, destabilize blood sugar, and drive continued consumption. Over time, this can create hormonal changes that make weight gain easier and weight loss harder. In this episode you'll learn: • Why ultra-processed foods trigger cravings and repeat eating • How glycemic spikes lead to hunger shortly after meals • The role of insulin as a “routing hormone” for calories • How food processing affects fat storage in the body • Why weight gain can accelerate over time • Why this is not a failure of willpower This series focuses on precision nutrition and endocrinology, helping you understand the real biological mechanisms behind metabolism, hunger, and weight regulation. If you've ever wondered why controlling food intake feels so difficult despite your best efforts, this episode will help you understand what your body is actually responding to.   Citations: Episode 3 — Mechanism-Anchored Evidence Summary This episode explores how ultra-processed foods, liver metabolism, adipose tissue, hormones, and brain signaling interact to drive cravings, fat storage, and weight gain. Key mechanisms and supporting references include: Hepatic First-Pass Metabolism: Carbohydrates enter the liver via portal circulation, controlling post-meal fuel distribution (Samuel & Shulman, 2016). Fructose and Lipogenesis: Fructose bypasses key glycolytic regulation, fueling hepatic fat synthesis (Softic et al., 2020). De Novo Lipogenesis: Excess carbs activate SREBP-1c and ChREBP, producing triglycerides in the liver (Donnelly et al., 2005). VLDL Export: Hepatic triglycerides are packaged into VLDL and sent to adipose tissue (Adiels et al., 2008). Adipose Storage: Lipoprotein lipase delivers circulating triglycerides to fat cells (Kersten, 2014). Insulin Resistance: Hepatic lipid accumulation impairs insulin signaling (Samuel et al., 2004). Hyperinsulinemia & Fat Storage: Insulin promotes triglyceride storage and suppresses lipolysis (Czech, 2017). Aromatase & Estrone: Expanded adipose increases aromatase activity, raising estrone levels (Simpson et al., 1999; Key et al., 2002). Inflammation: Enlarged fat cells release cytokines, worsening insulin resistance (Hotamisligil, 2006). Ultra-Processed Foods & Overeating: Highly palatable foods drive excess calorie intake (Hall et al., 2019). Reward Signaling: Dopamine pathways reinforce eating behaviors (Volkow et al., 2013). Satiety Disruption: Low fiber and processed structure bypass satiety hormones like GLP-1 and PYY (Slavin & Green, 2007). Synthesis: Ultra-processed foods → rapid hepatic load → lipogenesis → triglyceride export → adipose expansion → estrone increase → inflammation & insulin resistance → cravings and repeated consumption. This creates a self-reinforcing metabolic cycle linking diet, liver, adipose tissue, hormones, and behavior.   Dr. Brendan McCarthy is the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Protea Medical Center in Arizona.
